Hi, tonight I was running jobs on my xTool P2 as usual then all of a sudden got a pop up when I clicked the start button that said “Board communication failure Oops! Communication with the board failed, which may cause device operation failure. Please restart device or contact after sales service. Error code BOARDS.ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND.ui_gd330”
There is a hyperlink for ‘how to resolve it’ but on that hyperlink, nothing for this error code or anything similar to it is listed on that page. I have turned the machine on and off several times and still getting the same error. I have googled and can't find a single hit on the forum or on google generally about this error code. I put in a support ticket, but I'd love to figure this out faster than they are responding. We have had the machine, purchased new from xTool, for about 3 weeks. We run it for roughly 3 hours a day, intermittently.
ETA: I got this AI response to my help ticket, but these steps are not resolving the issue:
We understand the frustration caused by the "Board Communication Failure" error. To troubleshoot this issue, please follow these steps:
1. Check the Laser Module Socket: Ensure that the pin in the laser module socket is not bent or damaged. Also, check if the laser module connection cable is damaged. If so, please contact us for a replacement.
2. Check the Laser Module Connection: Unplug and replug the connection cable into the laser module socket, ensuring there are no bulges or arches in the cable. If the error persists, consider using adhesive tape or glue to secure the connection cable and the laser module, ensuring the adhesives are removable.
3. Adjust Processing Parameters: To reduce the risk of loose wires, place the processing file in the center of the canvas and reduce the frequency of the laser module traveling a large distance within the processing area.
Sincerely,
XT Smart AI Support
